Hi..

Well, in females the growth does not commonly occur after 18 years of age and commonly occurs 2 -3 years after the commencement of the menstruation cycle.

So as you are 20 years of age that is probably passed the growing period, so the chances of growing height are negligible now..

You can however do running, stretching, jumping, swimming..
Take nutritious meals with a protein rich diet..
However taking height gaining supplements and medicines will have a lesser chance of being effective and you should do it only after consulting a Physician..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
