Can I grow taller than that.

I'm 18years old and I'm 5.9/5.10ft tall. Can I grow taller than that?

Actually I stand 5.10 in the morning, but reduces after some hours. I also experience that when I was 5.8, that was last year.

Your "height" doesn't grow and shrink throughout the day. Watch your shoulders and pay attention to how you slouch. It sounds like a posture issue, like you slouch more and more and the day goes on as you get more and more tired... assuming there's nothing medical/spine-like going on.
You won't get physically taller, but if your posture is poor, and you improve that, then you can appear taller. Pilates and yoga helped me with my posture. They really helped me understand body alignment.

Most everybody's growth tops out at about 17 years old. It would be unusual if you do grow taller.

Well, I don't know. My dad said that he did a little bit of growing around like 21 but I think that Rob is right and it would be unusual.
