Is The Heightened Sense Of Smell Something To Be Worried About?
My daughter babysits for a 3 year old girl that has a hightened sense of smell and is almost OCD with things around the house for example if the soap dispenser is changed with different soap she gets upset. Are the two things related or separate? Is there a concern that she has the hightened sense of smell?

The child is having OCD. You should consult a child psychiatrist. Ent specialist can do nothing in such cases.
