The subjects of this study are children aged 5-12 years as many as 36 children, which is divided into 2 groups of paracetamol and tramadol group. One hour before circumcision, subjects were given group-appropriate analgesics, then the visual analog scale (VAS) was measured 1 hour after circumcision. The data obtained were made into percentage on the scale of VAS <5 and> 5. Results: In the paracetamol group, there were 5 children (27.8%) with VAS 1-3 (mild pain), 13 children (72.2%) with moderate pain (VAS value 4-7). In the tramadol group, there were 15 children (83.3%) with mild pain (VAS score 1-3), and the remaining 3 children (16.7%) had moderate pain. No side effects of both analgesic drugs were found. Conclusion: Patients with mild pain complaints were more likely found in the tramadol group than in paracetamol group. Tramadol gave stronger preemptive analgesic results in circumcision compared to paracetamol.
