What should I do if my baby is three months old and cannot have a normal bowel movement?

Patient's question:

The previous month, I had a bowel movement once a day. Since the second month until now, I haven't been able to have a normal bowel movement. At first, I used soap once a week, but now it doesn't work at all. I haven't had a bowel movement for eight days.
Past Treatment and Effects:
I have taken some traditional Chinese medicine.
Help Needed:
I want to know how to treat this.

Doctor's answer:

The child's condition is considered normal. As long as the child is in good spirits, feeding normally, and gaining weight, starting complementary foods at four months can help stabilize constipation. It may also be considered constipation, and drinking more warm water can be helpful. If necessary, seek professional medical attention at Zhi Liao Hospital. If there are symptoms of a cold, treatment should be administered simultaneously, and attention should be paid to preventing colds. Drinking more warm water is recommended, and fruit juice can be provided appropriately now.
