What Causes Photophobia After A Concussion?

My daughter works with disabled youngsters and was head butted by a student yesterday. She did go to ER where they did not think it was a serious concussion or even a concussion. Today at work the florescent lighting bothered her, and she seemed to have to hold her head up. What is going on?
