High rising epiglottis

Does anyone have any experience of high rising epiglottis in young children?
DD is 18 months old and while she was lying down and really laughing about something I happened to look in her mouth and totally freaked out as I could see what I know now is her epiglottis (looked like a mini second tongue to me I had no idea what it is tbh!). Googled it and found this term and it doesn't seem to be an issue if there are no breathing/swallowing difficulties. I will speak to her paediatrician tomorrow and see what they say but just would like to hear if anyone has any experience?
