If a fuse burns out, there must be a reason. I wouldn't be surprise if it burned out again. Its more difficult to find the problem when the fuse burns out intermittently.
Not a good idea to replace a fuse with one of a higher amp rating. The fuse is designed to protect the circuits from overheating, and if you put in a higher rated fuse, you do not have that protection. If the correct rating fuse continues to burn out there is a problem and you should look for why is it burning out.
You should have a fuse chart in the fuse box, it will tell you what fuse should be used.
If I had designed the fuse holder, only the correct fuse would fit in each circuit. Something like the type S fuses in homes where only the correct value fuse can be screwed in the socket.
