Bifid Uvula + Huge tonsils

WOndering if anyone has any experiences to share? My dd 4.6 always had massive tonsils but seem to be getting larger. When i say large, there is a gap of about 1cm and also a bifid uvula (forked dangly bit)
Have seen ENT who wouldnt take them out because of the uvula as may cause speech issues, and that she will grow out of it? But they are still getting bigger. I worry that she will get a throat infection and not be able to breathe at all. Valid? Silly? Anyone?!

My DD had v large tonsils. She had sleep apnea (have i spelt that right)? She had a permanent throat infection with spots all over them and when she was 3 they took them and adenoids out. She's now 11 and so glad we did it. Her voice changed completely. She was very nasal before and my son was already under ENT for perforated ear drums ~(grommets). Could you ask for another opinion? We had a great ENt consultant.
