COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- We are in the middle of what just may be one of the worst flu seasons in 50 years. And one of the biggest concerns is dehydration, especially in children.

Dr. Philip Spandorfer, an emergency room pediatrician, was on FOX 21 Morning News Monday with tips on how to recognize the signs and symptoms.

There is also a new drug on the market, hylenex, which helps get treatment quicker to children at the emergency room.
