5 Yrs Old Making Involuntary Popping Sounds In The Mouth And Touching The Thumb With The Little Finger.

Hello, My grandson (5yrs) has been making popping sounds with his mouth. He is making these sounds involuntarily and they happen any time of the day. He wanted them to stop the other day because he was hungry and wanted to eat. He has also been touching his thumb with the little finger and he says he isn t meaning to.
