I'm a bit confused by your question. It's not written very well. So, I'm going to ask a few questions, and see if I read your post correctly.

From your post, what I understood of it, you were prescribed antibiotics for a middle ear infection. The dose was wrong on the package you received. You took one pill a day, but were supposed to take 4 pills a day. You didn't know this until 10 days after starting the antibiotics. On the 11th day you started taking the correct dosage, then, before you were finished with the entire prescription, you decided, against a doctors advice, to stop taking the medication.

You should never stop taking any medication recommended by a doctor, unless the doctor recommends that you stop.

No, you're not at risk for "superbug", but you are at risk for a recurring middle ear infection because you didn't finish taking your prescription.

My best advice to you would be to see your doctor, tell him/her what you did, and see what he/she recommends.

You was very helpful , the only reason I stop is because they had me taking it wrong , plus I don't think I had a middle ear infection anyway because I went to hositpal , and that's the same doctor that tried to get.me some more antibotics for a common cold , and then on my discharge papers he go write thoat infection after theu tested me for that and he told me it was nevigate
