Is their a madican that make me taller?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Growing up: Good morning: yes and no. This is a complex question. Experts in pediatrics may be able to determine if your growth is in any way abnormal and if so they may use human growth hormone treatments to get you back to normal growth. But other than that rare situation the answer is that there is no medicine to change your genes to make your taller than you are otherwise meant to be.
