Aug 16, 2015 at 9:54 comment added ABCDveve You can use the local fields database of Jones and Roberts, or look it up in their paper (see 3.5, and 4.1 for identifying quartic types). Knowing how to compute the automorphism group helps, which is by Panayi root-finding as explained there. math.la.asu.edu/~jj/localfields hobbes.la.asu.edu/localfields/database.pdf
Aug 16, 2015 at 4:20 comment added Pablo @KConrad Sadly enough no, I have just used a computer to see that it factors as a linear factor times a quartic factor in $\mathbb{Q}_2$. How do I see that it is $D_4$?
Aug 16, 2015 at 4:10 comment added KConrad As a first step, have you been able to compute the Galois group of the splitting field of $h$ over $\mathbf Q_2$? I worked out that it is $D_4$ (group of symmetries of a square).
