Hi,I am Neethu Vipin (Dietitian & Nutritionist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello doctor. I am a teenager and will be 15 in about 5 months time. I m the oldest in my class yet I m the shortest. I was checked by a peadiatrist (sorry I think it s spelt something like that) when I was 12 and they did some check ups and said that I should be about my mum s height when I m 13 (looking at my growth chart) but I m still not as tall as my mum (let alone my dad because me s even taller). My mum s 5.3 ft and my dad is 5.7 ft yet in short. My older sister is 5.7-5.8 ft and my younger sister who 6 years younger is up to my shoulders but I m 5 ft and am 47 kg. Please can you suggest a way through which I can increase my height.
