I think OCD can be treated without medication also.....but if it is not severe level.
So better to consult "clinical psychologist"

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.

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.
