5.7" is above average height for girls. Girls height doesn't increase much after puberty whereas boys continue to grow till 18yrs. After that the epiphyses fuse n height doesn't increase. Taking unnecessary treatment to increase height will be fruitless n harmful. So please be happy with the already good height that you have.

Mostly increase in height does not occur after 18 years
It depends on your parents height and genetic reasons
Take healthy diet, don’t worry about your height

I think this height is fine. Do not compare your height with others. Please do not go for any medications now as your epiphyseal plate will be closed and growth does not occur after that.
