She took unwanted 72 after intercourse and next day we had sex again (in between 24 to 30 hours) does she need to take another one. Or what should we do!

Unwanted 72 is not a contraceptive. Please use a reliable method of contraception to avoid unplanned pregnancy and its issues. That said, you need to take the pill within 72 hrs of intercourse, and the dose she took should cover the second act too. Again it is not reliable method, and failures can occur. Wait for 3 weeks, and if she does not get her periods, do a pregnancy test, and meet doctor accordingly.
