Hi,
Look it not mandatory that all individuals achieve the physical milestone of their ancestors. So 5 9 or 5. 10 isn't a milestone for you to achieve. Even 5 7 is not a bad height. it's more perfect. Though you can do some exercise for improvement in height. Sometimes it works up to 25 age. But it depending luck and your body. Don't take any medicine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
