It could be phlebitis, which could be caused by an infection. An infection leading into the bloodstream could be life threatening if not treated. That is called "sepsis" or "septicemia". A less likely cause for the swollen and painful vein could be a clot, and clots in the circulatory system can potentially travel through the blood stream causing a blockage. Blockages to the heart, lungs, or brain can be life threatening.
