Yes there is a way to fix this problem. There is two ways.

First I have to ask you is your H4 headlight bulbs 55/60 watt ones or 55/90 watt ones? I reckon they are 55 or 60/90 watt ones. Replace them with 55/60 watt ones. They higher wattage ones draw more current and melt the fuse rail and switch mechanism.

The other thing to do which I have done is add relays to your headlights. Not only will they be brighter, but will never make your switch or fuse rail melt again. Check out my thread here:
