Brief Answer:
Facial nerve weakness - Bell's palsy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

if it is deviation of the mouth towards one side, it could be due to weakness of the facial nerve on the opposite side.

Please do visit a Neurologist at the earliest to get examined and rule out the same.

Wish you good health.

regards.
