Reflux baby 4 weeks - its so difficult

I mentioned to midwife when baby was week old and told it was normal for baby to be sick. Baby is now 4 weeks and mentioned to GP that she sounded odd when breathing, GP said reflux when mentioned other symptoms and health visitor seen too! GP has given carobel? I’ve yet to use but has anyone found helpful?
i’m unsure what to do to help her..when born I intended to BF and then had issues so went to formula top ups and BF then midwife wanted me to switch to formula soley. I then eventually started BF again and formula. But was buying ready made cow and gate at that point baby was being sick regularly and constipated. She eventually eased on that but I had seen kendamil was recommended so switched and now since switching it’s sickness again, when i’m feeding her the kendamil she poos instantly which unsyre if good or bad! (week in) and can hear the milk travel through sometimes

babies symptoms
sick after feeds
need to sit with her 20 mins but if placed on back instantly or not given break in feed sick
Hiccups
wind frequently
grunts
legs to stomach and kicks a lot
unsettled at night 2-5am (no amount of feeding, changing or soothing helps!
wakes easily

Do I stick with kendamil and hope improves or is there anythint else out there that could help? - feel :(

Kendamil sounds like it really isn't suiting her at all. I know it gets recommended in here a lot but there seems to be an equal amount of babies who have the same symptoms to yours whilst on it.

I'd try a comfort milk like Hipp Organic and if they symptoms persist, have a look at Cow's Milk Protein Allergy.
