While his height IS at the bottom range for that age,as long he's active physically and mentally alert,and has a normal appetite,there's nothing more you can do to increase the height beyond that determined by the genetic code. No medicine or supplement or exercise can really help. Just ensure a healthy balanced diet and plenty of physical activity.
