How To Increase My Height?

18, male, 180 ibs, no medical conditions, allergies or anything like that. I am 5'7 and want to grow taller by 2 inches at least, my parents are 5'10 and 5'3 respectively, is it likely my growth plates are still open and I'll achieve my target? Should I take HGH or other height growth supplements?
