Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Long uvula maybe a normal finding, it will not interfere with speech.
As the child grows that will become normal.
If it is really disturbing consult ENT specialist.
Touching with silver nitrate may help.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
