No: Always follow the directions on the packaging. Many of these products contain antihistamines that can cause dry mouth and dizziness. Excessive amounts of advil can also cause stomach acid upset. If you are having trouble with congestion - snort some nasal saline and hack out the buggers. Consider adding a nasal steroid spray once a day - Nasocort OTC. Cool mist humidifier at night.

Yes: That is an acceptable dose to take at one time. Try to make sure you take it with food to minimize GI irritation.

I went to a doctor and they said my sinuses were inflamed and they said to take Advil round the clock, and gave me a z-pack. Is that normal? I dont have any pressure like I usually do with sinuses.
