There's been stories of people sneaking the paste in to give to people, and strategically administering a proper weight-based dosage orally while no one was looking. This is not medical advice, just stories of what people have done.

Regardless of your thoughts on ivermectin, please consider very carefully before doing anything like this. Ivermectin is an active drug and can interact with other medications that the doctors may be giving people in the hospital.
Even if ivermectin is a 100% safe 100% guaranteed cure for COVID, it can be dangerous if it interacts with something else. The last thing you want is a bad reaction with a hospital medication because the doctors had no idea their patient was secretly taking ivermectin as well. They can't plan for interactions with medications they don't know the patient is taking.
Not only that, but if something goes wrong and they do a blood test and find out ivermectin was secretly being administered to their patient, then that can be legally problematic for whoever administered that drug.
Just be careful with this sort of thing. You can be 100% right that ivermectin is the right choice, but administering it secretly without telling the people who are also giving drugs to the patient is a very risky decision to make.
I am sorry to hear about your son, and I am truly wishing him the best.
Don't use it if you have liver damage, are taking several other drugs at the same time that use a common metabolic liver pathway, avoid downers in general including the Valium family, or are afflicted with this nasty parasite which actually gets worse. https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/loiasis/index.html Probably none of these are relevant to a child in the US. It's a remarkably safe drug.
There's also the issue where ivermectin seems increase the binding potential of certain medications, such as benzodiazepines. This increases the potency of the medication beyond what would be expected for the dose administered.
Also, if the child is on painkillers (likely when intubated), most of those put strain on the liver. Liver damage and strain on liver can be largely interchangeable, because you don't want to put additional strain on a damaged liver or a liver already under strain. Doctors would need to know all medications affecting the liver to avoid accidentally damaging the liver as a result of additive liver effects.

^ this is the right way.
My way is the last ditch effort based on your stories.

Sure, here's an interaction checker. https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/ivermectin.html
