You may still have some growth left, considering your age. Please DO NOT take supplements or any medications. None of that will help you increase your height. Make sure you eat a well balance diet, exercise regularly and maintain an active lifestyle. If majority of people in your family are short, then you are unlikely to be very tall. Do not take any medications or pills, they do not help. Dr Vinu Raj MBBS MRCS FRCS(Trauma&Orth)
