Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You are 16 years of age, and have an urge to grow in height.
If you have family tendency of tall personalities, you can have height with out any trial, but with a good nutrition.
If there is no family tendency, you can consult an orthopedic surgeon for height increase.
I usually prescribe,to my patient with urge to increase height, anabolic steroids injections periodically, calcium, vitamin D,and multivitamins.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
