If you're speaking with other doctors, ask them if their expert opinion would recommend vitamin D and corticosteroids. If the treating physician refuses, tell them you're consulting with another physician for advise and that the other physician mentioned your son may be getting under-treatment (or malpractice) because normal infection protocol isn't being followed.
Any updates on vitamin D or corticosteroids? Something as simple as budesonide (basically allergy medicine, like Zyrtec) or albuterol can make a big difference in keeping the lungs going when things get tough on the body.
They're normal respiratory treatments when someone comes in with an infection. Every doctor who's treated a respiratory infection prior to 2019 has prescribed them and seen success.
Dosage is the key on this one. For COPD, you'd give someone 5x the dosage concentration found in the allergy inhalers. For something like a respiratory infection, it'd be more like 10x.

Budesonide is not an antihistamine. It’s a steroid. People with COPD or lung failure take it, it’s not for allergies.
Not all allergy medicine is an antihistamine. Budesonide is found in most OTC allergy inhalers. https://www.riteaid.com/shop/rite-aid-budesonide-nasal-spray-120-metered-sprays-0361559
