<p>For any Galois extension of local field $L/K$, it's easy to find the maximal unramified sub-extension $K^{ur}\cap L$ of $K$. But is there any method to find the totally ramified sub-extension of $K$? Is there any such extension related to the totally ramified extension $L/K^{ur}\cap L$? </p> <p>I try to find an Eisenstein polynomial, and then adjoin a root $\alpha$ to $K$ to find such totally ramified extension. But I cannot modify the polynomial $x^e-\pi_L^e$ to let it inside $K[x]$. Should I consider in this way?</p>
