10 days is too short a time for medicine to show effect. OCD is unfortunately not like fever, doesn't become ok in 10 days or so. Continue the medicine, your doctor will increase the dose after 2-3weeks if no improvement is seen

Medication starts showing effects 4-8 weeks after starting the medication, you can not expect the effects within few days. Wait and watch, if you still don't see the desired effects, talk to your treating psychiatrist for modification in treatment in the form of medication changes or adding psychotherapy. All the best

OCD is unlikely to respond to medication alone. You must avail of counseling sessions to help yourself
