Dr. Elie Salem Pediatrics
It is very hard to do anything at this age, because your epiphyseal plate will soon close, you will add 2 to 3 cm maximum and when your epiphysis closes then you won't get any taller, But i advised you to do a test called " Bone age" to check if your bone age is commensurate with your chronological age if your bone age is delayed then you will add more centimeters
