Antibiotics without a prescription would be the worst idea ever. I don't know how we stop this per se. Maybe have respiratory triage nurses who can order swabs or xrays?

Perhaps change the model of how patients are seen. Once prescribed meds, maybe a pharmacist can do refills unless its a narcotic.

This is already being done.
One of the biggest issues with access is that the gatekeeper to further access is the hardest professional to see: a physician.
