Brief Answer:
If possible better to avoid this time.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
As such mild fever, cold and soar throat will not affect the sperm count and fertility.
But in your case your husband is having viral fever and he on antibiotic which will affect his sperm count, quality and quantity also.
So better you can avoid this time and try after he recovered from his illness.
I think I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Good luck.
Regards
Dr. Richa
