css drop down list align img and text

Question

I have a problem in my css that I can figure it out, I need to align the text and the img in my drop down list in the center. The igm looks in center but the text is a bit lower. I want also to make the text a bit far from the img

Any help ? This is what I get I deleted alot of source code CSS to be able to publish the auestion, I hope my issue is not in what I deleted. HTML

    <section class="main">
        <div class="wrapper-demo">
            <div id="dd" class="wrapper-dropdown-2">
                <span>Deutsch</span>
                <ul class="dropdown">
                    <li><a href="#"><img src="./images/flags/flags_iso/32/de.png" >Deutsch</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#"><img src="./images/flags/flags_iso/32/en.png" >English</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#"><img src="./images/flags/flags_iso/32/fr.png" >Fran&ccedil;ais</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#"><img src="./images/flags/flags_iso/32/es.png" >Español</a></li>
