Took an oral tablet today to treat thrush, how long before this works and is it safe to have sex after say two days, if symptoms are gone .

About right: Two days or so is about right for the oral tablet to work; on the other question, there actually is no medical reason to avoid sex even with a yeast infection, as the risk of transmission to a male is very low. Because of this, it's always "safe", just sometimes not appealing.
