Agree with others; leaving one job after a few months is not the end of the world. Creating a pattern where you can't stay ANYWHERE for more than 6 months is what is a problem.
I say you get a "get out of jail free" card about once every 10 years, where you can leave a job after a very short duration. Usually this occurs because you got there and it wasn't what you thought, or you got a MUCH better offer, or it was an awful fit, or things changed for the worse and the job became untenable, or you had the boss from H-E-double hockey sticks, or whatever.
In your shoes, I'd look HARD for a new job. Try not to leave until you have a new job lined up, both to avoid a gap on your resume and because new jobs do not tumble out of the sky.**
**If this job came to you fairly easily, don't be fooled into thinking that's how it always is, and that you'll have a new job inside of a month. That isn't usually how it works. Of the 5-ish jobs I've had in the 15 years I've been out of college, only 2 of them fell in my lap, and those largely because I was in the right place at the right time, with the right experience and right connections. For the rest? I had to hustle. Hard.
