So, I would refer you to a pediatric endocrinologist for a thorough evaluation of your chances of reaching the normal height. But exercise and a good diet are vital for growth, the use of height supplements is not recommended showing that they are not effective. The specialist can suggest a combination of other interventions that best suits you in terms of your needs and potential growth.
