This type of reversal in a switch can happen due to a wiring issue or a malfunction in the switch mechanism itself. It is important to have a qualified electrician inspect and repair the switch to ensure it is functioning safely and correctly.
You need two separate switches. You can get two switches that are in the same form factor as a single switch (2 gang switch). You use one switch for the outlet and the other for the light. You switch the black wires which are "hot".
Black represents Hot and White common. For the light to operate it needs a white and black wires. The switch box has two cables with a white and black wire plus a ground. One wire is from the supply and the other to the light. Connecting the whites just provides common directly to the light. The blacks go into and out of switch because it is the hot side that is being switched.
A light switch in the bathroom is typically designed to be more resistant to water and moisture compared to light switches in other areas of the house. This is to ensure safety in a potentially wet environment like the bathroom. Additionally, some bathroom light switches may have built-in features like a timer or a dimmer switch to provide additional functionality.
For the most convenience, you should consider replacing two switches with just one switch that does both tasks. The first thing to do before repairing anything electrical is turn off the electricity to that room, then repair or replace the switch as you would any other light switch.
