Hi there Sweksha!
Thanks for writing in to this HCM site!
Is this doctor you consulted a dermatologist, trichologist or cosmetologist?
In 10 days, no hair loss is going to either stop nor is the hair going to grow unless a certain gentleman by the name of P.C.Sorkar intervenes!!
On a more serious note, i empathise with your hair loss isssues & note that clumps of hair seeming to be falling off especially after bath!
I would advise you firstly, not to focus too much on this issue..it is a cycle that never stops. Speaking of cycles, hair goes through different cycles of growth, dormancy & loss & it is very possible that most of yours are now in the 'loss' phase & this will take care of itself in time.
Please do consult a second dermatologist in your area to help you out on the ground as dermatology is a very visual field & one needs to physically aseess various parameters' including your stress levels et al before opining!
I recommend using 2% Minoxidil lotion twice/daily on dry scalp in the interim in addition to your current regime to 'arrest ' the hair loss & help you grow hair!
Do feel free to pay a second dermatologist a visit at the earliest.
Best regds & Wish you a great head of hair soon!
