Answer
Hi Saba.  I'm very sorry for your situation.  There is really nothing you can do for your cat besides getting him to a veterinarian.  Maggots need to be removed surgically by a vet.  They usually are too deep for you to remove yourself.  Within a couple days, maggots can burrow all throughout the body, eating the cat's insides.  This is deadly.  It's an extremely painful and slow death, probably the worst death a cat could ever experience.  If you can't get him treatment, please euthanize him as soon as possible to end his suffering.
