What you are describing seems to be GER- gastroesophageal reflux and that can be managed with physical measures and in needed medications.
Lactose intolerance would be associated with diarrhea (watery stools) .
Meet a pediatrician in person for an evaluation.

I think ur baby is having colic issue
Exessive cry is very common under 6 months of age bcz of gas in stomach
Exclusive breast feed ur baby till 6months of age.
Feed ur baby with proper position.
Burp properly after each and every feed for at least 10 min or till baby take 4 burp.
Give Tummy time 4-5 times in a day time
If still issue persist then
Give colic aid drops 3 drops (if needed).
Maximum 4times per day.
