Height related problem.
Hello Doctor,      I am17 years old, and my height is just 160cm. My father is much taller than me. Is there any way or medicine to increase height. And I have heard that Stretching and exercise just increase height on temporary basis by making the spine straight. So please prefer to suggest a medicine. Thank you.
