If it's truly colic, nothing really. It'll take time. You can however, see if it's gas or other intestinal problems. Just because a baby is crying a lot doesn't mean it's colic. Other factors have to be ruled out. Does baby have an intolerance to dairy, etc. that would upset their belly or sensitive to something you're eating as well if breastfed? With colic though, they'll be inconsolable, regardless of what you do. Of course, don't leave them to just scream alone, except when you get overly frustrated. Because with colic, you will. I would have to put my daughter in a safe spot and just go cry for a good five minutes before returning back. Her colic hours were every night on the dot from 1 am to 8 am. Nothing could console her. But she did grow out of it, as will all babies. Just tough it out. Having someone to help or a good support system will help a lot.
