What can i do about my son's stubborn wart on this hand?

Freeze, burn etc: Anything that irritates the wart will cause the immune system to key in on it and eradicate the wart. A doctor might freeze, burn or even inject with an antigen to jumpstart the immune system. Ultimately you need an immune response to get rid of the wart. Try seeing your doctor. It will be faster in the long run.
