Yes there is solution. You can put new lintel on top of your windows and door that will stop more damage in future.

It seems to me a settlement crack has occurred. Rake out the cracked mortar & some of the area & repoint as necesary. If it reoccurs you made need to see a structural engineer as your property may have movement or subsidence. I hope this helps.
