no i dont think so but still you can ask your sons doctor for any medication, and also try hanging with hands that help a lot for the height. i tried it.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will try working on both but I guess the hormones will not work any more!

The only treatment that might help are hormonal injections he can try. Talk to his doctor about it and see if it is a good option for him. Though if there is nothing that can be done, don't make it a big deal. People are of all different heights and it's fine to be on the shorter side.
