Yes you can, if feeding is decreased or any signs of dehydration or decreased urine output is seen, then definitely ORS will help a lot.

ORS is given more so in vomiting and loose stools to prevent dehydration.In fever you can give any liquids in form of milk ,soup,curd and so on .However you can give sips of ORS 2-5tsp every half hourly, you can continue breast milk and give food in form of kichadi,daliya,idli etc if accepting. Go for powder form of ORS not the tetra pack one.
Next Steps
Look for signs of dehydration in form of dryness of lips and eyes,decreased urine output .
Health Tips
Check temperature and give paracetamol 6th hourly if T>100.
