Can i grow more by taking or doing something?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not if healthy: Not if you are healthy. If you have a specific condition that is preventing you from growing then appropriate medications may help. Eat nutritiously, keep active and live a healthy life style. Genetics are the primary determinants of height.
