Height : At 17 you have probably reached your adult height in which case medicine and/ or exercise would be useless.

Unlikely : At seventeen your growth centers have likely almost closed and you are unlikely to grow much taller.If you want to know for sure an x-ray of your wrist ; hand can be analysed for bone maturity ; tell if the growth centers remain open to new growth.Good nutrition, rest and exercise allow a person to reach their tallest height while the opposite will stunt growth.
