Can an injection be used for intervention? How tall can one grow without intervention?

Patient's question:

The child will be 11 years old in February, bone age is 13 years old. Height 147cm. Weight 43.5kg. Development has been 5 months. No voice change. Father's height is 170cm, mother's height is 160cm. Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Dear Parents,
Regarding your concern, the child's development is fastest during adolescence (13-15 years old). As the child grows to 20-24 years, of course, there are psychological and dietary, exercise, environmental aspects, and no intervention is needed now, as the medication has side effects. We recommend:
To these parents, your child should strengthen nutrition and exercise, especially vertical movement, which will help in growing taller. We wish your child a happy and healthy growth.
