Recovery from pneumonia depends on the severity like
Breathing problems like respiratory rate, retractions
Oxygen requirement
General condition of child like lethargic or irritable or active
Fever spikes
Chest xray
Blood reports like total counts, crp and other parameters
If child is active on home based treatment, then can give daily baths but not for more than 15 minutes. Also can avoid hair bath for now.

Bath should not be a issue unless there is breathing difficulty. However we need to have a complete picture before we can decide on this in terms of age of the child, course of illness.
Fever should subside in 2-3 days but it can take longer, again, it depends on the organism and host factors
