Brief Answer:
Recommend stretches exercise,supplements dont help
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for giving me an opportunity to answer your query.
According to me you have a healthy height.I would be glad to know your weight just to check whether you have healthy Body mass index too.
The maximum height is achieved during midteens/puberty and influenced by the genetics and is a natural process.Beyond this there would not be a considerable change in our height since our leg bones when we touch 20's.
I were to would recommend stretches, swimming, biking, running, or yoga, right posture, exercise combined with the right diet and proper sleep to help you grow.Avoid nutritional supplements, steroids(other medications), growth formula which might really not help despite their claims.
Hope this answers your query.
