They will not hurt your body any different than they would if you were actually sick. All antibiotics can be hard on the stomach and intestines. The only thing that could happen is your body might build tollerance for the particular medication, especially if you have used the same antibiotic more than once a year, and it becomes less effective. The problem with this is doctor's prefer certain medications over others, so they will prescribe an antibiotic for everyone with similar viruses... leaving you with an antibiotic that doesn't help clear the infection. (I just realized this question was under dog health... so I guess the same goes for your dog...)
