Also I no everyone says put baby on his back to sleep but I  always find sleeping on their side is much more comfortable for them & if they do have trapped wind it dosnt bother them as much..obviously thas just my experience! Im on #4 just something to try if u wish entirely up to u!

Gripe water & infacol b4 a feed r great for bringing up trapped wind but may not get it all...u can also try a tummy massage in a clockwise direction around in a circle all around babys tummy quite firm then doing cycle legs pushing babys knees into his tummy again firmly repeat theses alternately for a few minutes or as long as ur baby likes it it helps trapped wind the other end & can make baby poo.... its tough I no but collic doesn't usuallylast past 3 moths good luck   :-)

My son was he screamed from 5-10pm every night.  I took him to the dr and they gave him some medicine and it worked great.

Talk to your pediatrician- they might be able to suggest a few things. He might be having a reaction to formula or milk .... My cousin was colic and it was a nightmare but I hope that's not what you're facing.

Make sure nothing else is irritating him. Like diapers, clothing, bedding,etc.. Also you make want to try putting him on a schedule he may be cranky from you waking him during the day but after a while you won't need to wake him. Swaddling is also good and if you have a swing, I swear it works miracles. Schedule an appointment with pediatrician the doctor may have more solutions for you.
