I'm a 17-year-old guy and my height is 5'6". It hasn't really gone up much in the last couple of years and I'm eager to grow taller. What kind of things could I do to help increase my height?

Additionally, engaging in regular physical activity, especially exercises that focus on stretching and lengthening the spine, can be beneficial. You can also consider taking a multivitamin supplement to ensure you are getting all the necessary nutrients for growth.

I'm a bit confused about my treatment plan coming up soon. My current weight is 64.8 kg, and my height is 169 cm, putting my BMI at 22.7. Everything I've read suggests I should stay at this weight. But in two weeks, my medication dosage is going to be adjusted based on my weight. It looks like I'd get 3 tablets if I'm under 65 kg and 5 tablets if over 65 kg. I'm torn on whether I should try to bump my weight slightly to around 67 kg or just stay where I am. Can you help me figure out what's best?
