Excessive dose rate - either brominator set too high or too much added manually.
Stop adding bromine until the level drops, re-test & if necessary adjust the pH.
Verify the dose rate is correct for your make of disinfectant and your pool volume.
Resume dosing at the correct rate.
If using a brominator, and the dose is too high again, then assuming correct calculations, then it may be faulty.

Yes, bromine levels should be kept between 3-5. When they get higher you can add neutralizer to bring it down. High bromine levels will dry out your skin, bleach your suits, and it is unhealthly to swim in.

How do you treat high bromine levels in a swimming pool?
The product is called Thiotrine chlorine neutralizer, Bromine is a chlorine that has inert ingredients.No - bromine is not chlorine, although their actions as disinfectants are similar. They are two different chemical elements.Don't forget too that pool chemicals tend to be described very loosely by the primary element in their active compounds, not by the compound names.I had to look up Thiotrine, but find it contains neither bromine nor chlorine compounds because it is designed to neutralise both. It is Sodium Thiosulphate: Na2S2O3 (I can't type the correct subscripts here), i.e. a compound of Sodium, Sulphur and Oxygen, respectively.

Is bromine effective?
Bromine is very effective. We have used it in our inground pool since we installed the pool in 1982. The bromine is place in a brominator which is hooked up to the filter. Bromine is much gentler on bathing suits and does not give off a real strong smell like chlorine.
