Hi, what specific hole is it. ASD, VSD, PDA
Which ever it may be it can be safely managed and you baby will survive a normal life if taken care of.
Please consult a paediatric cardiologist.
ASD needs to be closed by 3-5 yes of age
Muscular VSD can close on its own with age
Other VSD will need surgical closer
PDA can be closed with a device without surgery
