Hello,
As a physician, I think human growth generally stops after puberty. This totally depends on individual genetic makeup.
Most children achieve maximum height by 18 years, but some at 20 yrs. So in your case you have some hope for that.
To increase height I will suggest:
1) Stretching exercises
2) Hanging exercises
3) Proper diet
So, I will suggest you to try all these things and hope for the best.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
