Hi Irsa,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum,
At this age of yours it is difficult to increase your height. Height depends on various genetic factors also. If your parents or one of the parent is having the same height of yours then you will be imbibing the genetic characters of one of those parent. Hence in a nut shell it is almost impossible to increase your height and please be happy with whatever you are having.
Take care
Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar
