Hi, My Daughter Is 14 Yrs, 168cm And Recently Had

Hi, my daughter is 14 yrs, 168cm and recently had a wrist X-ray which confirmed her growth plates have commenced fusion and almost complete. She is very active, plays sports and eats a well balanced diet. She started her menses when she turned 14 in Feb 2015. She has had constipation on and off for a couple of years but has recently taken 'stuff' prescribed from GP to help with that issue. Could that have had an affect on her growth, not absorbing nutrients etc?? I'm 170cm and her Dad is 186cm and her 'girl' first cousins on my side who are similiar in age are between 173 and 178cm's. Is there possibility of an additional 1 to 2inches of growth left in her? Is there anything other than protein diet, calcium etc that she can do to help the process? She plays a sport at state level which has a huge focus on height. Lastly her 10yr brother is 160cm which is tall for his age, and has longer limbs and again is sporty like her, what potential height could he achieve in his teenage years? Kind regards
