Very high dose of advair?

Very high dose of advair?

I've had problems with my asthma control since trying to go back to symbicort after using advair hfa after a surgery (which is ironic since symbicort is my main inhaler).  Now I have massive muscous, coughing and tight chest which isn't going away.  To the point that once the allergy symptoms increase when I'm outside, the ventolin doesn't help at all (even after 3-4 puffs).  

The walk-in doctor suggested that I increase my advair and take a higher dose of antihistamine.  However, I'm already using advair HFA 250 at 2 puffs twice a day which is the maximum dosage according to the pamphlet.  

As anyone used higher doses than that and had any problems?  I'm a like worried about taking more than the maximum ...
