The chances of recovery and cure in your case is very high, because the age is an advantage.
He is very young so there are chances of behaviour developmental modification at this age.
OCD can be well treated with homeopathic medicine effectively along with counseling sessions whenever required.

Hi... Yes, OCD in kids can be treated with therapies like, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) or Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I believe this diagnosis (OCD) is coming from a Psychiatrist and the medications are prescribed to immediately check and control his symptoms. But in the long run therapies will bring better results.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT/ERP is required.
Go for face-to-face sessions with a trained mental health professional.
