Height Issue

Asked for Male, 21 years

I am 16 and half years old. My voice has gotten deeper, I have an Adam's apple, my chin hairs is coming in and my mustache is slightly coming in also. Now what is really worrying me is my height. I'm 5'6 in height. Will, I hit a growth spurt at 17/18 or is it too late for that. Can you advise me on this matter?

Dear Patient,

Don't worry. Yes you may hit a height spurt a little late. If its genetic and if you are meant to then ofcourse your height will increase. You should have lots of milk, eggs, test your vitamin D and make sure its sufficient. Also, enroll in basketball and do physical activities to boost your growth.
