We investigate the short-time dynamics in superconductors with multiple attractive pairing channels out of equilibrium. Studying a single-band square lattice model with a spin-spin interaction as an example, we find the signatures of collective excitations of the subdominant pairing symmetries (known as Bardasis-Schrieffer modes) as well as the order parameter amplitude (Higgs mode) in the short-time dynamics of the spectral gap and quasiparticle distribution after an excitation by a pump pulse. We show that the polarization and intensity of the pulse can be used to control the symmetry of the nonequilibrium state as well as frequencies and relative intensities of the contributions of different collective modes. We find particularly strong effects of the Bardasis-Schrieffer mode in the dynamics of the quasiparticle distribution function and propose possible signatures in trARPES experiments.
