With regard to side effects, in the short term, you can get nauseated. If you are allergic, in rare instances, it can be lethal due to anaphylactic shock. However, this is extremely rare and the most common allergic manifestation is hives.

Sometimes the IV contrast can, but it wears off quickly.
Depends. Some people are sensitive to IV contrast and can have allergic reaction. Other common effects are flushing and nausea. The contrast is removed from the kidneys. In some people, the kidneys may become damaged by the contrast.
Oral contrast may taste bad. It may also cause diarrhea or constipation depending on the contrast.

It can cause nausea and vomiting in rare cases. But there is no long lasting effect.
