Question not clear: It seems your question was cut off, or at least it is not clear. Kids with a cleft uvula can have an unseen v-shaped cleft buried in the palate.It has little significance long term.In the short term these kids are somewhat more likely to have recurrent middle ear fluid and infections from Eustachian tube dysfunction.

Don't worry: Cleft uvula is uncommon but not pathological. Have your Pediatrician treat her ear infection. See a Pediatric Dental Specialist, a Pedodontist, at Age 1.
