Both: I would alert the pediatrician (give them a heads up) but not necessarily rush to treatment but instead see if it passes. If it gets worse, definitely have it checked out. Ask your child, why? Are they playing a game, or is it a compulsion? Or something else?

May be OCD: Talk with pediatrician and may need to see a behavioral pediatrician. OCD may occur in children this young especially if there is a family history of it.
