Yes you can give Azithromycin, Sumo and Medrol together for a short time.

Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to Health care magic,
Yes you can give Azithromycin, Sumo and Medrol together for a short time.
But there can be severe acidity.
So make sure you give the medicines for say about three days and give something like Omeprazole at least twice a day--it should be OK.
