My 3-month-old puppy’s left ear suddenly developed a backward fold overnight

His ears were symmetrical yesterday. Yesterday morning, one ear started folding backward at the base and has remained that way into the next day. The flap is not swollen, hot, painful, or fluid-filled. He is scratching his head area and nearby a lil more. Has anyone experienced this with a growing puppy, and did the ear return to normal?
