Hello, doctor m mr nawaraj and my running age is 24 and my height is 5.6". so can you prescribe any medicine that can increase my height upto 4" more.

5.6: The likelihood of increasing your height by 4" is minimal. By now your growth plates should all be closed.

No: I am sorry to tell you that by the time we hit adulthood, we have achieved our maximum height. Once our growth plates are fused no more growth will occur.
