Less than 5 is dangerous. This is ok. Keep taking the medicines and drink lots of water.

This is enough. How many months pregnant are you? AFI 8 is not very low , you can follow the advice of your doctor. Nothing else to be done.

Drinking water may not help
As the water the mother consumes will be excreted
Liquor around the baby is formed by the baby s secretions n urine
Make the dose of arg two times a day
Repeat ultrasound after ten days
Till then strict daily fetal movement count should be followed
