Gripe water for constipation

The last few days my 3 month old has been struggling to poop so I have been giving gripe water. This morning I gave him 5 ml of gripe water and it didn’t help him poop yet, but has been tooting a lot. My question is how often can i give him the gripe water? Everything I find it says up to 6 times per day, but I need to know how many hours in between can I give it? It’s been 3 hours since his last dose.
