He should take the dose the doctor has prescribed, since that amount is usually what's necessary to fully eradicate the infection.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Keflex as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and non-allergic skin rash.

Ref: Keflex Information

Has he been experiencing any of the side effects?
