Usually increment in the height of boys stop by the age of 16 to 18 but in rare cases height may increase up to age of 20 in case of boys though rarely. The chances of increase in height of girls have some lower age limits than for boys. Chances of increase of height there after either with exercises or food supplements & medications too are 0 percent as growth plates fuse by this years.
Dont feel bad dear but chances of your height getting increased are very less. Still you can try your level best as you may have a year or two to increase your height.
But increase in height also depends on genetic history as per your genetic history is not known exact comment can not be done. So still there is a question mark.
You can only have increase in your height by use of high heel foot wares.
Sorry.
But my hearty advice is DO NOT RUN BEHIND THE MEDICATIONS & INJECTION, RATHER YOU TRY STRETCHING EXERCISES.
