When I asked the meaning of "after a second or two",the teachers in this website taught me it means" after a while".
Now I found the phrase "another a second or two",is it the same meaning as "after a second or two"?

No. As it stands, it is not acceptable English.

Yuyu, after the information you received in the previous thread, and the clarification in this thread, you should be able to work that out for yourself.
