Gap Under Drop-down Menu

I have a drop-down menu on a site that I have been working on I and I need to get rid of this gap above the drop-down menu. It is quite bothersome.

Figure A

So, in an attempt to fix it, I changed the li line-height from 50px to 47px and got this:

Figure B

Almost what I want, but not quite. The problem? The li is higher causing the little animation I have under the li to no longer touch the image.

Then, I tried giving the li a relative position. But now, the drop-down is the same width as the 'Patient Info' link.

Figure C

Here is my jsfiddle link if you would like to fiddle around with it. There is no rush. Thank you!

Code:

margin-top: -3px for submenu seems to fix the issue across all (major) browsers, however I'd recommend fix from my Codepen, with flex and defined height for li elements.

Fast & simple

HTML:

<ul class="submenu">
    <li><a href='patient-forms'>Patient Forms</a></li>
    <li><a href='patient-education'>Patient Education</a></li>
    <li><a href='http://myhealthrecord.com'>Patient Portal</a></li>
</ul>

CSS:

.submenu {
  margin-top: -3px !important;
}

More clean approach
