Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
Yes, deep pockets can cause severe pain.
As you are saying that, you have Already done deep scaling, just ask patient maintain Oral hygiene.
Prescribe her metrogyl 400 2 times a day for 3 days, chlorhexedine mouthwash 3-4 times a day.
Hope my answer will help you.
