Hi Charan,

Welcome to HCM.
Height is genetically determined and not much can be done. If both or one of your parents are tall then you have a possibility of gaining height. You can take calcium sandoz tab. one daily for a month. Eat lots of green fresh vegetables and fruits. Hang and swing from rings hanging down from roof. Do jogging.
Wish you all the best.

Hi charan!
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com.unfortunately there are no quick fixes for tallness.Mostly it is in your genes and to a certain extent physical activity.You still have 1-2 years before the growth spurt stops .Try playing heavy sport like basketball,volleyball.Have good nutritious diet rich in protein,milk,eggs,lean meat etc..Since you are getting good result .continue with the same.remember drugs have side effects .Incase you wish you can contact a good orthopedic surgeon for surgery,but that has risks.Take care.

Hi well come to HCM.
Since you are 18 there are little chances to grow your ht as near this age epiphyseal
fusion occurs, at times fusion may be late by one or two years. after fusion long bones
donot grow in lenth.No drugs will help you to grow your Ht what ever help you may
get is out of good nutritious diet and some stretch exercise single bar hanging, cycling
etc may help you. Thanks
