Do tonsil stones have to cause bad nasal odor?

Hello everyone,
For the past few months I have been debating on whether tonsil stones or LPR is the cause for bad breath. I have a barium swallow in a few days to see how significant my reflux is and hiatal hernia.
Depeing on exam results from a PH monitoring exam as well, I will decide if a tonsillectomy is right for me. I believe there is a lot of tonsil stones that I might not be able to see behind my tonsils, but my question is do tonsil stones have to cause nasal odor? Because nasal odor is not a problem for me (or at least that I know of) I think it is mostly just mouth odor.

Thank you everyone!

Honestly I don’t think so I’ve had mine out for a few months now and no changes. My bff talked to his dentist for me and explained everything going on and she told him that it had to be either underneath my gums or within my throat and wanted to see for herself so I made an appointment for next week I’ll let you guys know how that goes
