Question
The patient is a 17-year-old boy with a height of 157 cm, and he inquires whether there is still a possibility of further growth.
Answer
The main period of growth and development is between the ages of 12 to 15, and the golden period has passed. For adults, height typically does not increase anymore. The growth plates have closed, making the possibility of height increase extremely low. If one wants to improve their height, they should consider scientific lifestyle and dietary habits rather than hoping for unrealistic growth. For allergic symptoms, medication treatment should be decided based on specific symptoms and locations.
