The male partner has a cold, in which case it is usually recommended to postpone intercourse as well as having children appropriately. Cold is an infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract, including inflammation of the nose and throat, and some colds may be related to viruses, such as influenza virus and parainfluenza virus, which may cause a decrease in male sperm quality, and even taking related medications may cause abnormalities and malformations of sperm. Therefore, during a cold, especially when taking medication may affect sperm quality, it is recommended to wait until you recover from the cold and start thinking about having children according to your own situation.
