A baby who gets pneumonia will need how long to recover?

Does the second sentence correct?
Do we need add time after how long?

No, you don't add 'time' after "how long". "How long time?" is not right.

[STRIKE]Does[/STRIKE] Is the second sentence correct?
Do we need to add 'time' after 'how long'?

Please note my amendments to your questions.

"For" is omitted, is it correct?

Please see the corrections above, in red. We don't know for certain if the OP's child was really ill. It sounded like an English exercise to me.

In addition, PaulMckein, please correct the information in your Member Profile.

Jebris, there is no need to answer a question which has only been posted as an English grammar exercise. Please don't post unnecessary links.
