After chemotherapy for lung cancer, if patients have an allergic reaction to the drugs, they may experience adverse symptoms such as fatigue, skin itching, and palpitations. Additionally, chemotherapy drugs may irritate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to side effects including constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Moreover, some patients may develop pain in the lower back or limbs.
