Many thanks for saking opinion.
your baby with swelling of ear cartilage and small hole in it could be due to branchial sinus.which will need some kind of minor surgery later on.
regarding head frontal deformaity will be corrected later on itself.if there is any discrepancies in head or asymtry of head then consult pedaitric neurologist for opinoin later on.
