Suggest Remedy For A Growth Deficiency

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Will i have another growthspurt?? im 15 and only almost 5'3. my dads 5'11 and the men in his family were around that height or taller. my moms brother is 5,10 and her father was 5'9.i hit puberty at the same time as everyone else. i had a growthspurt when i was 13-14 according to my doctor, but i wouldnt call it a big one. i just went to an enocrineologist, who said that he only thinks i would reach 5'5, but i dont really get why that would be all i would grow. i had my bone age taken when i was 13 and a half and it said that my bones were 2 years younger than my actual age, and it looked like i had alot of growing ahead of me. So id just like to know if you think i could start growing again, cause it seems like i havent been growing at all lately. i also was on acutane for 4 months when i was 14 and wondering if that like stunted my growth.
