Answers:
Yes, it can often go away without treatment!. That is sometimes the most effective "treatment"!. Antibiotics carry the risk of developing a resistant infection and other side effects, along with some incidence of allergic reaction!.
If you have seen a doctor, been diagnosed, and the choice was no treatment follow the instructions you were given INCLUDING getting back in touch in case of fever, increased shortness of breath, and whatever else!.
If you haven't seen the doctor it might be pneumonia, but it could also be something else like bronchitis!. If it gets worse see a doctor!.
