How old is your duck? Is a vet an option? Pictures videos really help us help you. To put a video here you need to put it on you tube or Vimeo and then copy and paste here.

She is about a week old. That’s the hard part by her butt. I can’t figure out how to post a video.

are you giving her apple cider vinegar in her water or VetRx? you should if you're not.

I personally have never seen fowl pox on a duckling... are there bumps or dots in her throat? google has cures for that.

I found three white dots on the top of her mouth.

It sounds like an egg broke inside of her. Is a vet an option?

It sounds like when a human has phlegm in their throat and they try to breath.

Does your ducklings have deep enough water to dunk their heads? Do you see anything clogged in the ducklings nares?

What have you been feeding the ducklings? If it is not crumble, do they have grit?

Have you tried putting the duckling in a warm bath? It can help things move along and clean out the anything in their nares and lungs. Water also encourages defication with ducks. You will need to make sure you dry the duckling after the bath, but all the ducklings will love splashing around.

I give my ducks a bath every night and she always puts her head under, I couldn’t see anything in her nose, their food is crumbled, however she doesn’t seem to like being in water for very long.

Hello and welcome to Backyard Chickens!
So sorry about your little duck.

Looks like you've already been asked all the right questions so I won't be much help from here.
@Isaac 0 may be able to help you though.

How deep is their drinking water?

Ducks need drinking water that is deep enough to cover their nares (the little nose holes on their bill.)

I agree. I believe @Isaac 0 will be the most likely to know what is going on. However, if you are able to, an avian vet would be your best bet at this point.

what do I do if she has respiratory issues?

Bacterial respiratory issues are treat with antibiotcs, fungal respiratory issues are treated with anti-fungals, viral respiratory issues cannot be treated.
