Since you have been to the teaching hospital and you are asked to breastfeed exclusively please follow that instruction. But if you are still worried kindly see a second pediatrician.

It is normal for babies on exclusive breastfeeding not to pass stools every day even up to 2 weeks and as long as the baby is fine...
Is the baby throwing up forcefully or bringing back without any force little out of what you fed the baby with? Please clarify. If Baby doesn't throw up forcefully, sounds more like REFLUX...
Good day ma'am, please let the child be seen by a ENT doctor. The pus will be examined and the appropriate treatment can be given.

Colic is a major cause. Colic is a natural phenomenon which will resolve with time, just make sure your baby burps after breastfeeding.
What you just described sounds like colic. Though not all excessive cry is colic. Please kindly take back to the Paediatrician for proper evaluation and management preferably in a teaching hospital especially for the hard stomach part.
