My 15 days old baby is always sleeping on one side which may lead to a flat head to avoid this ..Should I use a pillow or head support to keep her head straight while sleeping.

Better to avoid soft objects like pillows as head may sink into them or if face turned into them, can make breathing difficult
Next Steps
Repositioning the head and supervised tummy time will help release pressure from preferred side
Health Tips
Need to check if there's difficulty for baby to stretch the neck as that will need exercises
