Can a man have a child if he takes cold and anti-inflammatory medicine?

You may have heard that men cannot drink too much cola because it kills sperm. Also, men who smoke and drink frequently may not have good sperm quality. Therefore, for the health of the next generation, men may reduce the frequency of drinking cola. Men even think that they cannot have children after taking cold medicine, fearing that it will affect sperm. In fact, anti-inflammatory drugs will lose their effectiveness in the body within one or two days, so it is possible to have children.

Inflammation is what we usually call "inflammation". It is a basic pathological process that occurs when biological tissues are stimulated by certain damaging factors such as trauma, infection, etc., and is mainly a defensive reaction. The local manifestations of inflammation are redness, swelling, heat, pain and functional disorders, and are also accompanied by systemic reactions such as fever and changes in peripheral white blood cell counts. Under normal circumstances, inflammation is beneficial and is an automatic defensive reaction of the human body (although the patient may feel pain and other discomfort). But sometimes, inflammation is also harmful, such as attacks on the body's own tissues, inflammation occurring in transparent tissues, etc.
