Lincef = cefixime: Lincef appears to be the Indian brand of generic cefixime which is an antibiotic. I was unable to find "bactomyn" but I assume that it's also an antibiotic. Regardless, if wound hasn't healed in 14d and it's still mildly painful, you should go back & see physician who removed your toe nail.

Culture: See the doctor that removed your nail and ask about having a culture and sensitivity swab test of the wound. You may just be healing slowly or may have an infection but your medical professional needs to monitor this closely.
