Child's Uvula Deviated To Left And Sticking To Tonsils. Should I Get It Checked?

Hello, I noticed that the uvula of my 2.5 year old daughter deviates to the left and is sticking to a tonsil. I have first noticed this a couple of days ago and it is still in the same position. She hasn't had any throat or similar infections. Do I need to see a doctor or shall I wait and see ( as it doesn't seem to disturb her in any way)? Thanks so much for your advice.

Deviated ulvula without associated symptoms like nasal regurgitation of feeds is not significant.
There is no cause for concern.
Rest be assured everything is alright.
When you take him to pediatrician next time for routine check u po just get it examined for your reassure.

Take care
