Baby has been crying and pacified only when carried

Hi! My 1 month old baby always cry whenever I put her down. My PD say that it’s colic wind and prescribed Ridwind and Probiotics but she’s still always crying. She used to be able to sleep very well after feeding before her 1st month but not now. We tried putting her in stroller, in baby carrier, swaddling, turned on white noise, used pacifier, used anti-colic wind milk bottle etc but to no avail. It’s really causing my hubby and I a lot of stress. Any advice?
