Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you your friend have small height and you want to increase it , well height of a person increases by the time epiphyseal plates in the long bones don't fuse and these plates ideally fuse around 21 years of age. I would suggest you to use shoe lifts and maintain good posture. You should take healthy diet such as protein rich diet like soya, groundnut, pulses, etc. Once these plates fuse then there is no further growth. If you are above 21 there are no medicines that can change your height

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
