It must have been derived from the famous Arabic/Muslim greeting or goodbye and take care - "Salaam alai kum".

Hi Maylynn, fellow Filipina here from Cebu City!

Kumusta and mabuhay Angela!

Dear Gang,
I finally remembered last night to ask my friend about Salamat. She said yes, it is traditional to say "Salamat" in Saudi Arabia when someone coughs. The non-literal meaning, the cultural meaning is "I hope you feel better soon". She said if it is the Salamat song she thinks it is, then they say that in the song because it is about going to visit a sick friend and wishing them to get better soon. ( Now we see why it is important to understand the lyrics!!)
Regards,
A'isha

Salamat is the phrase/word you'd use to wish someone who's sick good health.
