Insertion of Iv cannula for same vein

2018-10-16 11:55:49
From last week I'm taking an antibiotic through IV for UTI infection. In hospital they inserted iv cannula and they removed  after three days after that my hand got swelled and reduced now but when I touched the vein it is hard and I'm getting pain sister told that  keep an ice pack.  Can I connect the new IV cannula for the same vein of different location?
