Q:Kibun wa do desu ka?
A:Atama ga itai desu.
Do questions use the topic particle instead of the subject particle? Would "Atama wa itai desu" sound odd?
ga / wa

In this situation, it should be "ga".
Because up until this person mentions "atama", they were not talking ABOUT
the head. They are talking ABOUT "how he/she's feeling."
For you information, "wa" is the topic particle and "ga" is the subject
particle.
