help! duckling wont stop panting?!?

hypothetically, what would happen if I did let it sit more than 24 hours? Do you know? I am just curious; not planning on letting it sit too long.
 
One other thought - are the duckling's nares clear or stuffed up? If there is stuff in the nares, the duckling would be mouth breathing. That can be resolved first by letting them spend time in a warm - 85F - bath, no soap, just let them wash off in fresh water and blow water through their nares.

Then some kind of head washer so they can keep their nares clear.
 
He stopped panting and yes, his nose is clear. Thanks though. The brooder was just a touch too hot, even at the cool end. I adjusted their lamp.
