With hot weather across the North West this week, make sure you stay hydrated.
Dehydration means your body loses more fluids than you take in, and children and older adults are more at risk.
If it's not treated, it can become a serious problem.

ALT Dehydration. Babies, children and older adults are more at risk of developing dehydration during periods of hot weather. Visit nhs.uk for symptoms to look our for and what to do next.
