Go see your doctor: Ask for a bone age study. If your epiphyses (growth plates) have closed/fused, there's nothing you can do to grow taller short of high risk ilizarov procedure. If your epiphyses haven't fused and your height is less than 2nd percentile for age, then you can seek a consultation w/pediatric endocrinologist to consider (very expensive) growth hormone. Bottom line: there's no quick or cheap option.
