Yesterday or so I heard of something called residual symptoms but since I’m in a weird head state, I can’t really process all the information I’ve been given because of a lot of medical terms. Is it like a symptom that’s just ‘there’ and doesn’t really interfere with anything?

I’ve spent 5 minutes trying to find out from google and I’m still none the wiser. The best I could find was the defintion of residual from a medical dictionary which was
residual

Etymology: L, residuum, remainder
1 adj, pertaining to the part of something that remains after an activity that removes the bulk of the substance.
2 n, (in psychology), an aftereffect of an experience that influences latent behavior.
