Is it okay to give my 1 year old powerade?

My daughter has had a fever for a few days and really isn't interested in eating/drinking much. Is it okay to give her a bit of powerade to keep her hydrated? When I was pregnant, my doctor told me to drink powerade for the electrolytes so I thought I would try giving her a bit as well. My mother told me to give her like a few mls every half hour or something so that she doesn't get too much sugar at once. Is it okay to give it to her in small amounts?
