They almost definitely know more than you about medicine in general (even compared to immunologists since it's not like that's an entirely comprehensive field of study or anything), but they don't necessarily know more about every aspect of medicine - they just aren't trained that way - and kind of my personal perspective from knowing countless med students and doctors... you don't have to "master" the material, yes - they are tested on a lot of material... but the general strategy seems to be remember it long enough to regurgitate it at the appropriate time and then it gets buried in the back of your mind under information that's actually relevant to the type of medicine they practice/are interested in practicing... which can (and is) sometimes a problem when it comes to diagnosing certain problems. Knowing you body, having some willingness to do some ground work/research may enable you to contribute ideas that your doctor wouldn't have came up with on their own - even if they're better primed to fully understand it and treat it compared to the majority of people.

I also don't think I know many immunologists who would claim to know more about medicine than a medical doctor... mostly because they aren't taught medicine, they're taught immunology. They may (or well, almost definitely) understand underlying mechanisms, the immune system, etc... much better than a doctor does - but that doesn't mean they know how to deal with the problem. Sort of as an example (being a microbiologist/biochemist) my boss's kid was diagnosed with some sort of infection - and my boss asked the doctor if he was familiar with the mechanism of action/which class of antibiotic it was. The MD gave what basically sounded like an insane mechanism of action (I can't recall what it was) and said the antibiotic was proline (which makes zero sense). It was the appropriate antibiotic for treating the infection (my boss looked it up) and the doctor knew this, but my boss knew more about what the antibiotic was after seeing the non-branded name and how it works.
