Depends on your age and whether you have entered puberty or not. A regular doctor cannot do anything about height, it would require examination and lab tests by an endocrinologist. Hormonal therapy is used to help kids with serious growth issues, but if you are short becuase your mom or dad or grandparents are shorter than average, you won't usually get treatment.

Been there, done that. Nothing you can do, all the drugs that would make you taller would mess you up. ex. Andre the Giant. There is one solution though, bone grafting. Don't even try it though! It is supposed to be painful and you could permanently damage your bones. There is no simple medicine that will make you taller.

Nope because there is nothing to prescribe.

There is no such thing, prescribed or otherwise. Your height is your height.
