Raise the temp to 86, and add 2 Tbsp salt/gallon. After 10-14 days, lower temp to normal and start decreasing the salinity w/partial water changes.

As far as I'm aware, Ich itself shouldn't cause sterility. Some types of treatment may have this effect, but the heat or salt+heat methods shouldn't cause this.

I say "should" because there is no such thing as a perfect world, and just about anything can affect something else in unpredictable ways. But I doubt it's a big risk in this case...
