Hi dear and thanks for your query.

There is no medication or foods that can help amniotic fluid to increase it range because in this pregnancy age amniotic fluid is formed increasingly from fetal urine and lung fluid.
But you don't need to worry because amniotic fluid is in lower minimal range and your baby size is appropriate for your gestational age .

All the best
