I dont suppose there is any medication to increase height at this age
But you can try with
T. Godanti Vati 1 tab thrice a day
T. Lakshadi Guggul 1 tab twice a day
Considering height and short legs you can try TADASANA and HALASANA

Hello,
Height of a person is determined by heredity and many other factors. In your case although your family members are above 6, you have not inherited that. Increase in height stops after a certain age and in boys it generally happens around the age of 19-20 yrs. Hence in your case increase in height now is not possible.
Do not let this issue affect your confidence levels and keep yourself fit by regular exercises and a healthy diet !!
Wear clothes which would enhance the length of the legs like dark colored trousers and light colored shirts/t shirts .
