Extremely unsettled baby

Will this really end at 3 months?

What magic is going to happen 5 weeks from now to help my baby to be happier?

He's been diagnosed with silent reflux and been on omeprazole for 2 weeks but it doesn't seem to have made much difference. I don't think an hour goes by in which he's awake without him screaming. He's got colic, screaming gets really bad by evening but it happens all day too.

He has moments of being calm, smiling, or laying on the play mat but this never lasts for more than 5 minutes, then he's screaming again.

He's 8 weeks old on Friday. I'm looking after him and my toddler 24/7. We don't have any local family support or childcare. My mental health is really starting to suffer and I just wonder if anyone else had a baby like this that got a bit happier at 3 months?! That's what I keep reading will happen but it's so hard to imagine.

My first was lie that so you have my sympathy. His issue turned out to be undiagnosed Tongue Tie. Could that be the issue?
