I joined a private limited company in September 2016, and I am not confirmed yet. I took five unscheduled leaves during this period. My manager has given me a final warning for my actions. Recently, I had a health issue and had to take three days off. I only informed them about my situation through a text message. I am concerned if this will lead to termination of my employment with the organization.

See, there are many issues here. First, the labor laws entitle you to some leaves irrespective of your company policy. First, see whether you transgressed it or not. As you have not mentioned the nature of the business, kindly visit the website below and check your leave entitlement as per manufacturing or non-manufacturing concern. Also, check the leaves under the Shops and Establishment Act of your state.
Secondly, if your health was so bad that no reasonable person would go to work in that condition, they cannot terminate you.

The company can terminate you without reason during probation. They do not need to confirm you; it's a choice lying entirely with them. In general, companies frown on leaves during probation and definitely don't like unscheduled and unapproved leave. It is natural that the Company will, therefore, be unhappy. It is generally considered that if an employee does not behave properly during probation, it's unlikely to be a good employee during confirmed/permanent status. Sending out just an SMS during absence, not even calling and telling the manager you have a problem is generally considered unacceptable. If they decide to terminate, there is very little you can do. I suggest you go and apologize to your manager and explain the situation.
