I'm 24 years old and my height is 5.7. I'm really curious to know if it's still possible for me to grow taller at this age. If there's a way to increase my height, could you please explain how it might be possible?

I'm looking at my daughter's diagnostic report, and her TSH level is 8.7. From what I understand, it should be under 5.5. She's only 11 years old, so I'm just wondering if this is normal for her age or if there's something we need to address. Any advice on what steps we should take?
