The risk on the indivdual level is quite small.
It is hard to argue that prescribing antibiotic that wasnt needed is harmful to the patient. Doing it over and over is harmful to society
Though admittedly even on the patient level it is potentially harmful antibiotics re not without side effects, of course there is risk of anaphylaxis and potentially lethal complications like C diff for example, But thse are rare
