Feel good or Feel well:

We can say "Feel good" and "Feel well". However, there is a difference: Podemos decir "sentirse bien" y "sentirse bien". Sin embargo, hay una diferencia:

If we say "feel good" we refer to an emotional condition (feel happy). Feel bad = feel unhappy.

On the other hand, "feel well" refers to a good health condition. Si nosotros decimos "feel good" hacemos referencia a una codición emocional (sentirse feliz). Sentirse mal = sentirse infeliz. Por otro lado, "feel well" hace referencia a una buena condición de salud. 

The person in sentence B states (that) he / she has got a headache. Therefore, we should use "Well" as he / she is not healty now. La persona en la oración B dice que tiene dolor de cabeza. Por lo tanto, deberíamos usar "well" porque no tiene buena salud ahora.
