If somebody has a serious case of pneumonia....?

If somebody has pneumonia, how long would they be able to live without treatment from a doctor? Assuming that the person with pneumonia is a relatively healthy adolescent with no bad medical history [no, I have no plans to experiment!!! It's for a short story I'm writing]. The only form of "treatment" comes in the form of Advil, very cold water, and cold food. Thanks!
