How Can The Height Of A 16-year-old Boy Be Increased?

hello doctor my question here will be about the height... i have been born in 30/7/2001 im about 170 cm tall. my father is 172-173 and my mother is about 166. can you estimate how much will i be when i be fully developed ? i dont feel that im growing much for a while now ( some months.. ) so im afriad i will not reach the height in my mind ( 190 cm... if not im hoping for at least 180 ) i feel that im in the end of my puberty im just so hairy and such like a fully grown man hahaha. in the past ive been taller than the friends in my class but now i see that they all about my height if not even taller !! i feel so bad about that . i know i shouldnt do so.. but being very tall is one of my dreams.. so is there any way to increase height ? increasing HGH by high intensity training ?? hanging from a bar and doing pullups ? ( i enjoy bodybuilding so much. will lifting so heavy stunts growth ) ?? thats it doctor :)

Hello,

As all the test are negative, nothing much to worry and you will be fine.

As a first line management, you can take antacids like Pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.

Avoid hot and spicy foods.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
